The young activist who recycles Robert F. Kennedy's line "There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why . . . I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" has no idea he's a walking, talking cliché, a non-conformist in theory while a predictable conformist in fact. But he also has no idea he's tapping into his inner utopian.... RFK didn't coin the phrase {JFK didn't either, but he did use it first}. The line actually comes from one of the worst people of the 20th century, George Bernard Shaw {admittedly he's on the B-list of worst people since he never killed anybody; he just celebrated people who did}
